Usage

Here's an example of how to use the library:

`typescript
import { exec } from '@port-labs/jq-node-bindings';

const json = { foo: 'bar' };
const input = '.foo';

const result = exec(json, input);

console.log(result); // outputs "bar"
``

The exec function takes two arguments: a JSON object and a jq input string. It returns the result of running the jq program on the JSON object. The result can be of any type supported by jq: object, array, string, number, boolean, or null.
